PPPBand

Im almost 6 months post op: First 4 months I lost 62 lbs...Last 2 months I've gained 8 back..Very Frustrating!! Also found things that go down easy like ice cream, cookies and chips. I started to rededicate myself to this continuing journey and just lost 5 OF the 8 lbs in past 2 weeks. I WILL NOT LET THE EFFORT, PAIN AND EMOTIONAL STRESS THAT COMES WITH THE LAP BAND DIE IN VAIN.. You can't either..Good luck and keep fighting.

Outstanding... I am down 60 at almost the same band time as you but I need a fill badly!!

Good Luck on your journey!! I was just about your weight when I was banded 7 weeks ago...

Thanks for the post...I will try it this week...

Thanks to all...

Hey Ice,

You sound like you just described me...Married but with 2 daughters at almost the same age...I have just gotten banded 2 weeks ago and even though Ive had some struggles I know that this was the thing for me..It will help me control my appetite and will allow me to make the right choices...In just 2 weeks I am down 30 pounds!! Good luck in your journey and keep posting on these boards...They have been a great emotional and mental tool for support for me and many of us bandsters!!

Peace

Gas is tricky as you well know..good days and bad days...Drinking something warm/hot sometimes helps me...Good Luck..This too shall pass (no pun intended)...

ALONG WITH THE RETURN TO HEALTH THATS ALSO WHAT ALL THE HARD WORK IS FOR...DONT BE AFRAID TO ACCEPT THESE COMPLIMENTS AND TRY TO STAY IN THE MOMENT..ENJOY THE SPOILS OF VICTORY AND THEN KEEP GOING... BANDED OVER 1 WEEK WITH SOME COMPLICATIONS BUT BACK AND GETTING BETTER 22 LBS DOWN!!

PEACE

Wow..thanks for all the words of encouragement...Maybe Hillary Clinton was right...It takes a "Banded" village...Have a great week everyone!!

Awesome...MAgnificent...Applause!!I hope to follow in your footsteps...It seems like so much of this is attitude...Keep on Keepin on!!

Awesome...Only you really know how significant that is..Keep it up!!

Great Attitude!!! It seems like the difference between people losing a little or not at all and people losing significant weight is just that POSITIVE attitude!! Good Luck Go Get em...I'm getting banded JAN 31ST IN NY...I AM SOOOO READY!!
